Some of you might be familiar with Crystal Paine. If not, she is the founder of MoneySavingMom.com, a site that has grown to become one of the most popular blogs on the web, currently averaging 1.5 million readers per month.

Crystal has a new book coming out on January 21, 2014 via Thomas Nelson publishers. It's called "Say Goodbye to Survival Mode: 9 Simple Strategies to Stress Less, Sleep More, and Restore Your Passion for Life."

I received and advance copy and just finished reading through it and I think it's a really great book full of practical application. Crystal also mentions about self-discipline as well as financial tips. This section gets my most attention because I've been struggling with some financial issues lately. Crystal has put in some great tips and it made me think about things that could make life a little easier. This book is a good read. I would recommend it.
